<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />SELECTED SITES -- PHOTO SURVEY <br />(Task 105) <br /> <br />Screening and buffering is one of the most important elements in a successful transition from <br />high intensity, large commercial retail developments to single family residential neighborhoods. <br />Flexible, site specific requirements can reduce such nuisances as the glare from overhead lights, <br />noise associated with deliveries and trash removal, the visual blight of rooftop utilities, loading <br />areas and trash receptacles, and the visual monotony created by the long expanse of a side or <br />back walls. Well placed screens and buffers can also reduce and/or eliminate excess traffic <br />through neighborhoods and the chance occurrence of overflow parking. <br /> <br />Following a review of selected sites, it appears that screens and buffers typically used to lessen <br />the impact of large retail centers on residential neighborhoods can be broken down into different <br />types: <br /> <br />· Berm <br />· Fence <br />· Natural change in elevation <br />· Street <br />· Open space <br /> <br />A photo survey has been prepared to illustrate how each type of screen and buffer has been used <br />and its apparent effectiveness in lessening the impact of large retail centers on residential <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Photo #1: Plymouth <br />Station, Plymouth <br />A 13 I berm conceals <br />nearly all of the shopping <br />center from the first <br />floors of the neighboring <br />single-family homes. <br />Pitched roofs with <br />fenestration were <br />required to screen <br />utilities and provide <br />architectural consistency <br />with the style and scale <br />of neighboring homes. <br /> <br />BERMS <br /> <br /> <br />-----.-- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Phase I Report <br /> <br />Page 38 <br /> <br />Roseville Shopping Center District Study <br />
